    Great home made food. Nice size portions. Had breakfast. Amazing home made bread, smoked bacon and home made jelly. Owner is a great guy, service is awesome.

    Friendly staff, efficient service. Food is natural, homemade from scratch. Breakfast, lunch, dinners. I tried the egg breakfast with turkey sausage but did not care for the taste. Friend had the pork sausage which was better but different spices are used to make these. Good scratch made jellies. Other food is good here too.

    Best diner around. Everything is homemade down to the hot sauce. They run a smoker out back so that pulled pork is the real deal. Can't beat the hand-cut fries, great milkshakes, delicious pancakes and they always have unique Greek inspired specials. It's pricier and a little slower than a typical diner, but the quality is top notch

    Amazing food! Everything we got was made from scratch and delicious. The service was also polite and attentive. Best pancakes I've ever had!

    If you are looking for some off the grid, whole in the wall diner where you keep coming back for more, this is the place. The food is amazing the staff also amazing, I recommend the turkey club. On rye. One of the best sandwiches I've had. And I keep coming back for more
